Indeed -
there are plenty of nice enums on pypi already - my call for getting then
to the stdlib
is that we can get a reliable enum/constant behavior  to be always there -
not only
for the constants in the stdlib, but for projects for which adding external
dependencies
would be expensive (as they currently have none)
